Produktbeschreibung
Twenty-two-year-old Summer is a force to be reckoned with. She's funny, she's stubborn, she's clever, and she's very opinionated on life as a Millennial Muslim woman. The only problem is that she is dead. When her younger sister, Sara, finds Summer's lifeless body on their bathroom floor, Summer can only watch as a devastated Sara calls the rest of her family to announce her death. With no way back to her body and no idea how she died, Summer remains a helpless observer as members of her devoted, dysfunctional family come back home to bury her - and her secrets. As Summer pieces together the events of the night before, she starts unravelling her whole life: the fabric of her British-Omani-Zanzibari family, the culture clashes, the depression that dogged her for years, and the childhood trauma that changed her forever... Riveting and heart-breaking, Summer's haunting story is one you will never forget.
Autorenporträt
Born in London to Omani Zanzibari parents, Salha has been daydreaming, performing, and creating songs, plays and stories since she was a child. As an adult, armed with a seemingly redundant degree in languages, she founded The Million Dollar Band, with whom she has travelled the world playing music. Family girl, proud Muslim, crazy cat lady, doting wife, shoe enthusiast and professional rock star, she has now added 'author' to the list with her first novel, The End of Summer. Having lived in Bahrain, London, Germany, LA, Muscat, Beirut, Dubai, she has finally settled (for now) with her amazing husband and two rescue cats in Zanzibar.
